StreetChance project in Manchester, run in association with the LCB, has been
featured on BBC Breakfast and Newsround.
StreetChance is a programme to engage young people from various backgrounds in
areas affected by youth crime and anti-social behaviour through cricket. It is
supported by the Cricket Foundation (charity behind Chance to Shine), Barclays
Spaces for Sports, the Metropolitan Police Service and County Constabularies
across identified StreetChance cities.
The recent BBC Breakfast report focused on the passion and talent of the Afghan
lads on the Moss Side project in Manchester. The lads, who play in the
Manchester Lightning team, got to showcase their cricketing skills and put BBC
journalist Mike Bushell's batting technique to the test by bowling a barrage of
fast balls his way.
